Adam Schefter has identified the New Orleans Saints as his sleeper team for the upcoming 2026 NFL season. The Saints have not been a main focus during the offseason, overshadowed by other narratives such as the New England Patriots and the Los Angeles Rams. Schefter's confidence in the Saints stems from the development of young quarterback Tyler Shough, who showed promise in the previous season. With added talent like running back Travis Etienne Jr. and continued growth in the offense under Kellen Moore, the Saints could emerge as a competitive force this season.
